Research administration is like cellophane, so is public trust. It holds things together but you can't see it. David Phipps. Call to action - we must communicate the value proposition for what we do. #INORMS2018

Is research impact our responsibility? Interesting debate at #INORMS2018

"We need to facilitate the uptake of the evidence in the context of its use." David Phipps (he/him/his) #INORMS2018

Amazing Dr Seuss/Cat in the Hat analogy from David Phipps (he/him/his) - "we need to engage with the cranky fish" to have impact. You had to be there. #inorms2018

David Goldston of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) giving the #INORMS2018 audience a US research funding landscape 101. He reckons cuts are mostly general reductions rather than targeted cuts of science budgets. Surprising.

Affordability for students, battles over free speech, and an increasingly partisan view of universities and colleges are the big issues facing US higher education says David Goldston #INORMS2018

@JStergiou81says Snowball Metrics Exchange should be available in the next 3 months. #respbib18

Golden rules of responsible metrics for Snowball Jennifer Johnson (was Stergiou) #respbib18

Russell Group has benchmarking agreement for sharing metrics every 6 mnths: applications volume & value, awards vol & value, success rate vol and value #respbib18

Advice from Jennifer Johnson (was Stergiou) on prep for using Snowball metrics: need to have data in state to be able to use, ICT support, senior support, and understand what metrics you want to use #respbib18

'Critical' that universities have responsible metrics policy and approach Dr Elizabeth Gadd @lizziegadd.bsky.social #respbib18

Local implementation at Loughborough is that departments choose their own metrics. Policy has to underpin everything though! #respbib18

Metrics can't be responsible, people have to be! Nice point Dr Elizabeth Gadd @lizziegadd.bsky.social #respbib18

Responsible Metrics need an owner. It's people who are responsible argues Dr Elizabeth Gadd @lizziegadd.bsky.social #respbib18

What would help practitioners - a community of practice and best practice guidelines? Suggestions from Dr Elizabeth Gadd @lizziegadd.bsky.social #respbib18
